the pleasanbest sight my eyes had fed on
for many days, for had lust come from
Florida, whittier architecture had not

its charm one has but to visit it fresh

New Theatre on eroughton street.


1t has been asked by great many why the
delay of building upon the lot bought by
Meinhard Bros. II Co. of this city. Some
again have asked who are to occupy the
building when completed. As to the delay
we have Deen informed that some has been
caused by an offer from some New YORK
theatrical people wishing to buy the lot upon
winch to build a theatre; but after looking
into the matter they found that Savanua h
has as good a show house as could be wished
for by any city of its size, so the idea was
given up entirely. Contracts have. we be-
iieve, been given out for all binding mate
rials for four-story business house, and the
building OF same will be pushed forward very
shortly. As to who will occupy the building
when completed it ia hard for us % say at
present. But we do know that il business
should continue with Appel & Schaul. the
one-prce ciothiers, they will. in time need o
the new one to be erected, as
their business is increasing daily. They are
selling tailor AIDE clothing, hats, gents
furnishing goods, ETC., at such low figures
that are more than astonishing.
To be convinced just give them a cali after
pricing goods in any house in the city, and
you viii find they are the cheapest. Again,
1t is an easy task for any one to bny OF them,
as every article is marked with the price upon
them in plain figures and that figure the low

1ident OF carrying the election, or at least
so expressed themselves. Representatives
OF the present management were engaged
in counting up their proxies good while
after the close Of business at the BANK.
Many of the proxies were tor one, two and
